Aim of the Conference:
Reliable and accurate statistical information on earnings, income and wealth form an important part of the knowledge we have about the operation of the economy and as indicators of economic well being. But where does this information come from, how should we use it and what are the problems that users face when attempting to understand these data? What can be done to improve our knowledge about earnings, income and wealth?
This conference aims to bring together the producers of statistical information on income, earnings and wealth with users (and potential users) to explore the wide variety of such data that now exist, to understand better the strengths and weaknesses associated with various sources of information and to portray some of the more interesting uses that have been made of these data for both research and policy purposes.
